The report said Holland was driving a 2000 Chevrolet passenger car owned by S&E Auto of Carmi northbound on Epworth Road when a tie blew out, causing Holland to lose control and leave the roadway to his right.

The vehicle went airborne off an embankment and struck a culvert, causing the vehicle to overturn and end up on its top in a bean field.

Both men were hurt and taken to Deaconess Hospital in Evansville, Ind., by White County Ambulance Service personnel. The vehicle was towed.
